Needless to say, that set the tone for the rest of the semester. I was also able to prove to him how he had lost nearly $250k on a real estate deal he thought he was "making a killing on." I walked out of that class with a solid "D", but I also wasn't $250k light in the pockets either....

Nice, yeah, most prof/teachers don't like students to argue or prove them wrong.
